City Postpones Farrel-McWhirter Horse Show
Concerns about the Equine Herpes virus (EHV-1) have prompted event organizers to push the event back to July 10.
The Farrel-McWhirter Riding Club 2011 Benefit Schooling Show, scheduled for June 12 has been postponed due to concerns about the recent outbreak of the Equine Herpes virus (EHV-1).
